Trans Kackar Mountain Range

Trans Kackar Mountain Range

We are inviting you to cut loose in a magical playground of the Pontic Alps, homeland of the nation’s most colorful, preserved and distinctive ethnic groups, the Laz and Hemsin.

Visit wildflower carpeted alpine meadows, orchard and wood covered mountain ranges, and the Sumela Monastery as it clings to a soaring cliff-face on the Pontic Alps.

Refresh your soul on the remote trails of Ayder Plateau, evaluate the climbing routes to the summit of Kackar with your bare eyes. Our adventure is to discover the footsteps of ancient nomads in the timeless labyrinth, bustling with exceptional stories, adventures and its unique culture.

This trip is to fulfill a unique vision of Turkey not just to marvel at but also to live with the remnants of its distinctive and colorful past. It will be followed by an extra ordinary finale at Istanbul – City of Seven Hills.
